Limbering up for the next challenge
Normally that would mean that the team is flying. Not necessarily in a physical form but in
terms of form, confidence and results. A good continuous run of positive results would probably
equate to a team in flying condition. In this instance, I'm referring "full flight" to the numbers
and quantity.
The achilles tendon: A vital "push off" that helps in a change of position
When does one go from saying that a single instance is happenstance, two is a coincidence, to
three or more is a bloody epidemic? Add ankle injury to the list of eventualities an Arsenal player
must face including taxes, lack of titles, departure, and death.
So all of the players have returned from international duty and manager Arsene Wenger has been
assessing his squad ahead of the home game against Swansea City tomorrow. Definitely out are Thomas
Vermaelen, Jack Wilshere and Abou Diaby who as we all know are sidelined through injury, but added
to that list is Tomas Rosicky.
Amidst all the fun of making up our fantasy teams for the new look Arsenal, one name has been
conspicuous by its absence: Abou Diaby.
It's understandable in a way: we have lots of shiny new names to play with in our hypothetical
formations.
Do Artex and Benny Yoon displace Li'l Jack and Aaron when all are fit?
A day after Manchester United announced that both Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez won't be fit
for Tuesday's UEFA Champions League match against FC Basel, Arsenal revealed it has some injury
problems of its own.
Gervinho (hamstring), Theo Walcott (knee) and Laurent Koscielny (ankle) have all been ruled out
for the Gunners' match against Olympiakos on Wednesday, joining a crew of teammates on the
sidelines.
By Tony Attwood Theo is injured, Gervinho is injured, Koscielny is injured, plus all the others you
know about, like Sébastien Squillaci, Jack Wilshere, Abou Diaby, Yossi Benayoun, Thomas Vermaelen,
and Johan Djourou. So who have we got left? Goal - no problems Central defence: Alex Song plus Per
Mertesacker with Ignasi Miquel in reserve.
